[Andrew Lloyd Webber, Joseph Millson, Charlie Manton - Arrival of the Trio — “Are You Ready to Begin?” lyrics]
Are you ready to begin?
Are you ready to get on?
You're about to start out
On the journey of your lives
(Is this some kind of joke?)
(Nah, it's a publicity stunt for
That freak show on Coney)
(It's a front page feature, is what it is!
PHOTOGRAPHER: (You bet'cha)
If you're ready then get in
Once you're in then we'll get gone
And who knows once it goes
Where you'll be when it arrives?
(This is outrageous)
It's amazing! (It's brilliant)
I'm telling you
That Mr y is an absolute genius
It's a fun house where the mirrors
All reflect what's real
And reality's as twisted
As the mirrors reveal
And the fun is finding out
What the mirrors show
(This is unacceptable! Do you
Hear me?! I will
Be taking this up with your employer
Whoever he is)
Everything and everyone
It's all just how I dreamed
All the freaks and all the fun
Exactly how I dreamed!
And Phantasma still await's
Wonder what's behind it's gates?
(That was somethin', wasn't it?)
(Meh, I was hoping she'd sing
Caruso sang half of
Pagliacci for us when he got off the boat)
(Eh, I bet she ain't got it no more
Not like the old days oh sure, she's
Pitch-perfect, but empty, inside
Like the flame went out of somethin')
(Oh, look, it's The Rockefellers)
Are you ready to get on?
You're about to start out
On the journey of your lives
(Is this some kind of joke?)
(Nah, it's a publicity stunt for
That freak show on Coney)
(It's a front page feature, is what it is!
PHOTOGRAPHER: (You bet'cha)
If you're ready then get in
Once you're in then we'll get gone
And who knows once it goes
Where you'll be when it arrives?

I'm telling you
That Mr y is an absolute genius
It's a fun house where the mirrors
All reflect what's real
And reality's as twisted

And the fun is finding out
